TOY CAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent Lia 737,514, dated August25, 1903.

Application filed March 5, 1902. Serial No. 96,738. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, EKKO SOLLMANN, of Hoboken, New Jersey, and J OHANNA. Iss- IWIAYER, of Nuremberg, Germany, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Toy Cars, of which the following is a specification.

The object of the improvement is to provide a whistle in connection witha toy car, and it is deemed most advantageous to utilize for thispurpose the empty space in a toy representing a locomotive-tender.

The improvement consists in a bellows operating the whistle and havingits fixed board fastened to the floor of the tender and its movableboard connected with a rod which is also connected with a crank rotatedby one pair of wheels.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a central longitudinal sectionof a toy locomotive-tender embodying our improvement. Fig. 2 is atransverse section of the same.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in bothfigures.

A designates the body of the locomotivetender. It is supported by twopairs of wheels 13 B Inside its body and upon the floor is arranged abellows 0. Its immovable board is fastened to the floor of the tenderand it operates a whistle. In the present instance the whistle D isarranged in the movable board of the bellows and operates through anopening a in the floor of the tender. The movable board of the bellowshas pivotally connected to it one end of a rod E. The other end of thisrod is connected with a crank e, formed in the axle of the pair ofwheels B. The operation of the bellows draws in and forces out airthrough the whistle D, thus causing it to operate.

\Vhat we claim as new, and desire to secure 4o by Letters Patent, is

The combination with a toy car having a plurality of sets of wheels anda body supported thereon, of a bellows arranged within the body, awhistle arranged within the bellows and communicating with an opening inthe floor of the car-body, a crank operated by the supporting-wheels ofthe car and a connection between the said crank and the bellows.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification inthe presence of witnesses, two for each signature.
